1st interview for 9 years ......Gulp, I think.

[yenrod]

I was going to post this tomorrow morning but I shall probably be a bit nervous by then. Anyway, I thought I'd post it now to build up to nervous as I have been rather unmoved by the whole thing so far.

I guess the trouble with being fully occupied means I don't get much practise at interviews. I've more practise at interviewing than being on the recieving end. So, I shall either be extremely focused and get good focused questions or completely unfocused and get lots of HR type questions which I shall waffle my way through and end up looking like a clown out of his suit for the day.

I am boning up on my business speak this afternoon, my hair is cut, suit clean, know where I'm going etc... Have I forgotten anything? They've already rang me 3 times to make sure I'm coming. Is this a good or a bad sign. Good because they're keen or bad because one half doesn't know what the other half has already done?

Sounds good matey, all the best Crack.

Don't go for the big all round the world answers as you forget what the hell the Q was in the 1st place

Ask about the job and the practices of the position as I find you can find out about them like this ie if they're really interested in you! or anybody else.

I'm sure you will but concentrate on the Q's and give them answers to your ability skills etc..!

blimey it seems every time I reply to a post 17 additional pages suddenly appear from nowhere and my post is redundant lol

good luck anyway.

I had an interview recently for a senior position at the MOD . About quarter of an hour into the interview ( set questions I hadn't found particularly relevant to my past experience ),I asked them why they werte asking me questions that were clearly neither relevant to either the post title or my experience.

The two senior management muppets looked at each other a bit sheepishly and admitted they had only just seen the job description sent from HR along with the interview questionaire and were as embarrrased and mystifyed as I was.

cost me a half day lost fees to attend the interview.

Hah I'm back. No biscuit Chuffy, does a glass of water count?

It's the public sector - so if it was chilled water, you're in there.

I shall keep all my extremeties crossed for you.
